Everything Cafe in Vancouver.

– review by Sonia Stastny/photos by Nicholas Jones

It is only by chance that this café got reviewed. While walking from the impressive Rennie Gallery, my friend from Toronto pointed out this hidden gem. I scoffed at the cheesy name (and anyway, what can a Torontonian know about the Vancouver coffee scene?) and was mildly repulsed by the view of their vitrine, filled with Vitamin Water. After doing some research, I found out that Everything Café – opened earlier this year – is the first coffee shop by the successful owner of Salt Tasting Room, The Irish Heather and Salty Tongue – no surprise that it exudes an air of know-how and nonchalant smoothness.

Coffee: Although I may have not lucked out with the barista (who laughingly admitted she is not the best one in the house), I was quite pleased with my cappuccino. It could be due to the exquisite beans from Stumptown Roasters, which are brewed and sold at only very few places in Vancouver. I definitely look forward to following up on this place and seeing how it grows and becomes more consistent. And next time I’ll come with an appetite for sampling the menu!
